WordPress Updates

Frequent updates are one of the great things about WordPress. In recent years, WordPress has made updates, both major and minor, a completely automated process that runs in the background with no downtown time on your site.

Automatic updates are convenient, but not always the best idea. In fact, it’s usually best to run your updates manually.

It shouldn’t happen every time, but WordPress site owners can sometimes run into issues after updates. Little quirks can come up on both the back or front end of a WordPress site after an update. Updates can take an entire site down as well.

Updates are a seemingly simple task, but a vital one

WordPress Backups

Backups are one of those things that are easy to ignore — until you need them.

Without backups, a simple error on the part of your host or through an update could take down your entire site and possibly lead to serious data loss.

Whatever method you use for back up should be both consistent and reliable.
